Calling Hours Today for Construction Worker Killed in Bridgeport

Family and friends will gather on Tuesday to honor and mourn Jose Araujo, who was killed at a construction site last week.

Last week, 33-year-old Gregory Weathers asked for a job at a construction site where Araujo was working. According to police, Weathers left when the foreman directed him to the company office, then came back shooting.

Community members gathered Monday night to remember Jose Araujo, 30, who was gunned down last week while working at a Bridgeport construction site.

Bridgeport residents gathered on Monday, with candles brightening a small corner of Pond Street and Chopsey Hill Road.

Today, calling hours will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Parente-Lauro Funeral Home in Bridgeport at 559 Washington Avenue in Bridgeport and the funeral will be held 10 a.m. Wednesday at St. Augustine Cathedral at 359 Washington Avenue.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to pay for funeral costs and help Araujo's 5-year-old son.
